[QUOTE="net, post: 467712, member: 200"] If I could relay any information to the masses about the game of football, it is this: it all begins with the offensive line. You need an effective line to be able to move the ball not only to score points but to burn time off the clock the other team can't use. Having a rock-solid defense is great, but eventually they will wear down and the other team will score. Everyone thinks the receivers, QB and backs operate in a vacuum. Without 5 really good linemen, you have mediocrity or worse.(Evidence--look at Wisconsin from this year to last year). To all of you too young to remember Don, he was Matt Flynn who became the starter. He was a low-round draft choice but showed enough arm, guts and brains to win the starting job when the Packers had a whole bunch of mediocre talent on the offensive line. They had several linemen who held out every year for more money and only one of them--Ken Ruettgers--ever made the Pro Bowl and he was added after another player got hurt. Majkowski was constantly running for his life. Before they put all the rules into place protecting the QB's he was beaten up game after game, but came back to play. He beat the Bears in the "instant replay game" for the first time in nearly a decade, a game I thought Mike Ditka was going to have a stoke. He wasn't as good as the young Favre, but he was good enough to give the Packers a respectable offense, though, as usual, with the exception of Tim Harris and couple of others, the defense was awful. Most of you don't realize how good today's Packers are compared to the post-Lombardi and pre-Ron Wolf Packers. Don was a true Packer, a small town guy taking on the big city folks and winning.
